The video quakity is the best I encountered si far. Unfortunately the tape degraded and the sound has some interferences, specially on the right channel, it annoys a little bit, but mostly if you hear it with headphones.

Anyhow, it a very good video and one of the few times the band played ABBA's "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme".

Cassette(Audience,unknown gen,TDK D60) > wav > Soundforge(normalise uneven L&R channels) > CDWave(split on sector boundaries) > flac(6) Bonus track was quiet and needed dehissing with Adobe Audition-Hiss reduction-Light setting.Tape flip after Trees, the end of the song is very slightly cut (the song was coming to an end, there's only a few seconds missing.)

She Cries Alone also cuts out at the end. The song was coming to an end but the ending is different to earlier versions - the drums continue.. as if they're going into another song.

I only have that one song from Croydon Underground so added it as a bonus track.

Anne-Marie's final show with Skeletal Family was around 2 months after this gig, in July. I'm told at least one show from July exists as audio, but I don't have it.

As usual the quality of the South Bank Show is excellent. A very ionteresting look over the entire career of Nick Cave, plus a couple of TV appearences as extras. Thanks to the makers of this DVD and to cEnda for sharing it here.

Excellent concert. Huge Thanks to Florian for sending this one to share here. This version is compiled from 2 different sources in order to have the complete concert. Kerrang lists this specific concert on the top 100 live events ever, in the number 70.

I already posted this concert in MP3 and with less tracks, therefore this is an upgrade in WAV and with the total tracklist. Taken from the Fractal Zoom bootleg, wich is equal to the Kill To Cure bootleg. Thanks to cEnda for sharing this one here.

Notes:

Copy of the 1991 Kill To Cure bootleg cd release, recorded at Logo in Bochum, Germany 10/21/1986.

Source material deliberately mis-attributed as being "Recorded live at the Geigerzähler, Basel (Switzerland) 1986"; except Track 11; 'Addiction' was taken from the "Nettwerk Sound Sampler Volume Two - A Food For Thought" CD, and track 12 'Incision' was taken from the "Remission" tape-this track is also available on the cd release.~

The tracklisting on the CD is wrong; tracks 8 & 9 are listed seperately on the cover, but are a single track (8) on the CD; making track 13 incorrectly listed as 'Incision', where it should be 'Choralone (Live In Houston)' - which is not listed on the back of the case and is taken from the "Spasmolytic" Maxi-Single.

'Glass House' and 'Far To Frail' are incorrect track titles; they should read 'Glass Houses' and 'Far Too Frail'.

Special Limited Edition, produced in The Glass House.

One of my favourite bands. I still hadn't found a proper way to introduce them to the blog. This session is an excellent way to do it. Thanks to the original uploader.

=======================================================From Wikipedia:"Dinosaur Jr. is an American alternative rock band formed in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1984. Originally called Dinosaur, prior to legal issues that forced the group to change their name, the band disbanded in 1997 until reuniting in 2005. Guitarist J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow, and drummer Murph were the band's founding and current members; Mascis has been the group's sole continuous member.Their distinct sound, characterized by high gain, extensive use of feedback and distortion, and frontman J Mascis's melodic guitar solos, was highly influential in the alternative rock movement of the 1990s."=======================================================Source - KEXP's 1411 kbps lossless uncompressed webstream > Total Recorder 8.3 ProfessionalTransfer - wave > Audacity 1.2.6 > CD Wave 1.82 > TLH > FLAC [w/ sector alignment]capture, recording, transfer and tracking by O'B=======================================================

And again Thanks to Northern Nephilim for sharing another master. This one pairs with The Cold recording, wich were the support act. The band was celebrating their 20th anniversary on this gig.

recording position: FOH source/lineage:

- Yamaha Pocketrak W24 @ 24 Bit / 44 kHz- Cubase (Master, Tracksplitting, DC Offset Remove) -> WAV 16 Bit / 44 kHz- there was a difference of around 5 dB in the volume of the sound system from beginning to theend of the show, so i had to do automatication on the FX channel to raise the gain constantly through the recording so now it's always the same for better listening pleasure.- Trader´s Little Helper 2.6.0 (FLAC Level 8, SBE Fix, Checksum)

information:A nice local club evening called "Vanity Noire" with 2 bands playing:- The Cold- Age of Heaven

I recorded both bands so i recommend you should always trade this two recordings together.It was really cold in that venue because of defective heating.But hence the name of the opening band ^^ i didn't get a cold, thick leather coat rules ;-).Nice FOH recording. There wasn't high SPL levels so the Yamaha did the job very good.Only had to do soft EQing.

It was the 20th Anniversary gig for Age of Heaven, so they unleashed a fine set with classicsand lots of unreleased or new material.

DISCLAIMER:recording made by NorthernNephilim (DIME: TimeBandit )Do not transcode to lossy formats or remaster!Not for Sale !!! Sharing is Caring, do not trade the FLAC´s without info file, checksumIf you like the band, please visit their concerts and buy their records.

Sound Info: The audio has been converted to FLAC and is lossless. Modifications: volume has been increased, EQd and slightly compressed. Ogre was singing through a megaphone on Psychoreal & Shhh which is why the vocals sound the way they do for those songs. Sorry about the talking throughout the first few songs of the show. There were 2 guys and a chick talking across me almost directly into the mics. That stopped after a few songs.

Recorded at the Montreux Rock Festival, 1988.05.14.Broadcast sometime after, not live, late May / early June.

Length - 2:10

It's not nice, it's such a squalid thing to do."GD "Yeah, you'd just rather record?"AE "Yeah, that's what we're good at."
